Exterior Surface
Stainless steel
Burner Pan
Stainless steel
CAUTION:
Make sure the gas cooktop is off and all surfaces are cool before
cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Although stainless steel is resistant to most stains, it is not totally
impervious to damage. Salt and some cooking liquids may pit and stain the
surface. Always remove these spills immediately.
General care:
Use a clean cloth or sponge; wipe with warm water and a mild
dish detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
Exterior finish:
To clean the exterior of a classic or platinum stainless steel
model, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft,
lint-free cloth.
Spray degreasers:
Spray on a cloth and wipe surface to remove fingerprints
and greasy spatters. Buff dry immediately to avoid streaking.
Hard water stains:
Use white vinegar and water.
Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently scratch the surface.
Do not use steel wool pads.
Cool first. Wash in warm water and liquid detergent or mild abrasive cleaner.
Foods high in acid or sugar content, such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling, may pit or craze the surface. Remove as soon as possible
before heating again.
Never wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a damp sponge; it may
cause chipping or crazing (tiny hairlike cracks).
Remove from cooktop and place on a flat surface near the sink to clean.
Nonabrasive cleaners:
Hot water and liquid detergent or a paste of baking
soda and water; use a plastic pad or sponge.
Mild abrasive and abrasive cleaners:
Use sparingly.
To remove, slip the edge of a dish towel under the knob; pull edges together.
Using the towel for leverage, lift up, pulling the knob off the valve stem.
General care:
Wipe each knob with damp cloth and mild soap and water;
rinse and dry. Never soak or use abrasive cleaners; they will scratch the
finish and remove the markings.
Spray cleaners:
Removes fingerprints and greasy food soils. Spray first on
a cloth before wiping panel.
Keep dry; never spray water or cleaner directly on the igniter. When cleaning
around the surface burner, be careful that the cloth does not catch on the
igniter and damage it.
